Book Description:

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, cannot be cured, but treatments are now available that can make a major difference in prolonging and enhancing life. Written by clinicians who manage one of the leading ALS centers in the world, this book guides readers through an understanding what ALS is, how it is diagnosed, the management of symptoms, and the drugs that are available to treat the underlying disease process. Chapters cover topics that include nutrition and swallowing; speech, communication, and computer access; mobility; breathing and sleeping; end-of-life care; and much more, including insurance issues and practical tips. Chapters from leading ALS organizations offer a broad list of support services, publications, websites, and other resources.
